Approximately 300 farmers from three communes in Kandal Stung district in Kandal province who had a land dispute with Heng Development company, owned by Mrs. Sieng Chan Heng, have come to protest in front of Prime Minister Hun Sen's house in Phnom Penh on 28th May to ask for his intervention.
The villagers accused Mrs. Sieng Chan Heng of grabbing their lands and they want Mr. Hun Sen to help them resolve the dispute. However, at around 12 noon, police started to disperse them by using violence, beating and kicking and arresting three protesters.
Mr. Chan Soveth, investigator for human rights NGO Adhoc, appeals to the government to help resolve the dispute satisfatorily.

Never forgive you Hun + CPP + Hanoi!!!!!!!.
Only communists did this to the poor people. This is a peaceful protest, just a sit in, and they were dispersed and removed violently. Their land got confiscated and they are arrested for protesting against the confiscation of their lands. Hun Sen and his cruel police are criminals!
